While STDs are an occasional occupational hazard for a sexually adventurous life, it’s important to be aware of the growing number of infections out there, the precautions you can take to take care of yourself and your partner(s) -…
There are few things in my life that have been as challenging (or frustrating) than marketing my yoga business. I don’t know about you, but I was formally trained in Journalism and Downward Facing Dog. Until recently I had very little training in marketing and/or running a business.

And according to an academic study, the secret to getting more mileage out of your resolutions is to make sure they are based on the approach rather than based on avoidance. What’s the difference? An approach-based solution aims to add something to your life rather than take something away. Think “increase your cardio” instead of “stop eating a midday snack.” It’s a subtle difference, but it can…
